An hour later.
As Sophia and Mary finished their homework on the dining table, their bellies were starting to rumble loudly.
However, Katherine and Meiya still hadn't arrived back home despite the time already being seven o'clock.
"Where is Mom? How are they still not back yet?" Sophia complained as the two of them leaned back down on the sofa.
"I don't know."
As Alex continued reading his book silently with no signs of hunger, Sophia and Mary were too hungry to do anything else.
"Sophia, you go cook," Mary demanded, with barely any energy on her face.
"No, you go cook," Sophia demanded back.
With neither side willing to back down, they both turned their attention over to Alex, who was still busy reading.
"Alex, cook dinner for us... Please, you wouldn't be cruel enough to watch them go hungry, would you?"
Despite them trying to shake him out of the book by grabbing his arms, he quickly shoved them away.
"Go cook yourself. You got hands and legs."
